Boise State honors veterans
Keely Mills
Red, white and blue balloons decorated Bronco Stadium on Monday, the 94th anniversary of Armistice Day, which is now known in the United States as Veterans Day. As people entered the stadium to attend the event they were greeted by a band of brass instrument-wielding soldiers playing popular tunes. The crowd varied from seniors to infants. A simple podium stood in the center of the blue turf where different speakers gave their thoughts on Veterans Day. The first to approach the podium was David Lansberry, of the Veterans Affairs Regional Office. He set the stage with a solo performance of the National Anthem. Lansberry was followed by Ryan Gregg, president of the Associated Students of Boise State University. “To all the current and former members of the United States Military who are here today, I am humbled and honored to be spending another Veterans Day here with you and your families,”

The ROTC presented the colors at the Veterans Day celebration at Bronco Stadium. Gregg said. Each sentence of thanks was followed by a round of applause from the crowd. “Serving our country is an honor. It’s now our turn to do the honorable thing and to serve you,” Gregg said. “There is nothing that any of us can say at this ceremony or
others that could match the merit of your service or the burden of your sacrifice.” Following Gregg was Christian Wuthrich, the dean of students. Wuthrich took the audience through some veteran history. Wuthrich explained the
biggest impact of military actions on college campuses was “following WWII, enrollment increased by more than 50 percent from a prewar level of 1.3 million students to over 2 million by 1946 with increases through 1949.” Chief Master Sgt. Carlo
Fenicottero, the senior enlisted member of the Idaho Air National Guard, was the final speaker of the morning. Fenicottero addressed the crowd in full uniform. “There is no mystery behind the endurance and success of American liberty; it is because every genera-
tion from the revolutionary period to this very hour, brave Americans step forward and serve honorably,” Fenicottero said. With Fenicoterro’s conclusion, Garfield Elementary choir walked out onto the turf to perform a song dedicated to our veterans. Each student displayed a red, white and blue scarf around their neck. Ryan Haygood has attended the program every year since 2011 when he became a student at Boise State. Haygood worked in the Air Force for 12 years. “It was really cool to have the elementary school kids singing. I almost got a tear in my eye. It was really good,” Haygood said. Their performance was followed by a moment of silence, a balloon release and a three volley salute before the program came to a conclusion. Tatiana Hahn, a respiratory therapist student at Boise State, was one of the attendees that day. Hahn served nearly 18 years in the Army and Army Reserve. “I really appreciated the gratitude; the program was very nicely put together,” Hahn said.

At this point in the season, many college football programs are suffering the consequences to injuries which plague their depth charts. Boise State is no stranger to this reality in 2013. “Anytime we get an extra week to get some guys back is nice,” senior offensive lineman Matt Paradis said. A bye week last weekend following a win at Colorado State has given the Broncos some time to recover. “Those bye weeks defi-
nitely help, obviously having that extra week in there just to kind of do all the treatment they need to do,” junior linebacker Corey Bell said. “A lot of guys were in there four to five hours a day just doing treatment.” The biggest loss for the Broncos this season has been redshirt senior quarterback Joe Southwick going down with a broken ankle in mid-October against Nevada. Southwick’s injury was the first major injury to a Boise State starting quarterback since 2002 when Ryan Dinwiddie went down with a broken ankle
of his own. While redshirt junior quarterback Grant Hedrick has stepped in nicely in Southwick’s absence, Boise State head coach Chris Petersen is hopeful that Southwick will be able to return before the season ends. “He’s a competitor and he wants to be out there,” Petersen said. “He’s made great progress so we’ll see.” The Broncos have also been without a key wide receiver for several weeks now; senior Kirby Moore. Moore hasn’t played since Fresno State in September due to a leg injury that

The Campus Crime Report, which is available on the Boise State campus security website, lists every reported crime that occurs on and near campus.
Updated daily, the report includes minor crimes, like alcohol violationsand violent crimes, including rape and assault. However, this report only lists crimes that are reported.

Aries (March 21- April 19): For too long, you have dreamed about being on the silver screen, wowing audiences with your amazing acting skills and God-given talent. Go ahead and quit your job, you don’t need any of those other dollars because soon you will be rolling in all of that movie star money. I heard being in the movies is easy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expanding your understanding of the arts is important to you.

Besides, life is just meaningless anyway, all of these people running around for nothing. I mean, c’mon man...
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Avoid saunas! These steamy dungeons of hellfire are where countless inappropriate acts take place with strangers. Just the other day, I was sitting in the sauna and somebody walked in with just a towel on. Imagine my sheer horror as I hid my face in my wool sweater.

These visions are not just mere nighttime brain activity though; they are omens from the past and future. These visions will show you the truth. Confusingly, they will mostly be about pancakes and public nudity. 11/14/13

Parking makes changes to campus @Mal_a_gal
Every day, students suffer from the epidemic that is parking at Boise State. Tardy after tardy and ticket after ticket, students and staff search for an open parking spot only to give in and pay to park for the day. Transportation and Parking Services has implemented numerous changes in an attempt to cure this disease.
Administration Visitor’s Lot:
Construction on the plaza that will replace the Administration Visitor’s Lot (AVL) is estimated to begin in the next two weeks. Nicole Nimmons, interim director of Transportation and Parking Services, explained her excitement to be involved with the project. “It’s kind of exciting to be able to focus on a project that we know is going to have a
huge impact on the campus,” Nimmons said. The design of the plaza has remained the same from earlier sketches. The plaza will consist of a rectangular lawn with green trees and pathways. The grassy area will be extensive and available for student use. There will be an iconic element in the center of the plaza that has not yet been determined. The focus is currently on the B-logo. The area has even been prepped to house a water fixture. A front door on the Administration Building that faces the plaza has been a topic of conversation. Nimmons assured there will be a front door, but it won’t be included in this specific construction period. “It should be beautiful. We don’t have a front door to the
university, so clearly that’s what we will provide,” Nimmons said. Nimmons said they are hoping to have the plaza in pristine condition by commencement.
Future Park and Ride:
The Elder Street Park and Ride, located near the airport, will provide 128 parking spaces to anyone in the community. It will provide students and faculty the opportunity to park on Elder and then ride the shuttle to campus. The project is a joint endeavor between Boise’s city bus company, ValleyRide, the Ada County Highway District and Boise State. The lot will service members of the campus community along with the public.
Advertising and Identity Part 2: Consumerism and body image Tabitha Bower @TabithaBower
Mary Frances Casper Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Communication, opened her mailbox to find a magazine from a company offering clothing to plus size women. Flipping through the pages, she noticed not one model in the magazine was

plus sized. Casper, after writing a letter of complaint to the company, received a letter back which read, “We provide what our consumers want.” “So if I am a size 22, you are telling me I don’t feel satisfied, that I want to be a size two. I’m going to buy that dress, put it on, look at that picture and say ‘dammit, I don’t look the same

at all,’” Casper said. “There are beautiful women that are very large. Why don’t we show them?” The average U.S. woman is 5’4” and weighs 140 pounds whereas the average U.S. model is 5’11” and weighs 117 pounds. Media’s portrayal of women and men, especially in advertising, can be problematic to individuals’ body image. Casper, who teaches and studies the impacts of advertising on society, admits she is still influenced by advertising and terrified by what the standards of beauty are. She has seen the impact it has on college women. Struggling

The Administration Lot will be replaced by a plaza by May 2014. “We’re hoping as we feel more of a crunch in campus in years to come with construction as some parking lots may go away it will
be utilized to its fullest capacity,” Nimmons said. “If so, there’s still some land area there where we could potentially increase more

with body image sometimes takes over their whole lives, leading them to dropping out of school in unhealthy conditions. In a survey conducted by Better Health Channel, it was found that 45 percent of women and 23 percent of men in the healthy weight range think they are overweight. At least 20 percent of women who were underweight thought they were overweight and were dieting to lose weight. “With men we are seeing the same thing now with all of the protein shakes,” Casper said. “You’ve got to build it up, got to have definition.” Casper explained if you are looking at an outside source to model yourself after, and that is something unrealistic and unattainable, it creates a sense of always needing to be better. Part of that need to be better is
looking at advertising which encourages individuals to purchase their way to happiness. “So if I’m never good enough, I’m always unhappy and I need to purchase my way to happiness. It’s a great way to generate an ongoing consumer that will always get the next big thing because they need to be better,” Casper said. “It’s a nice way (for advertisers) to keep people enmeshed at the lowest possible level.” Eileen McNulty, gender equity peer educator for the Women’s Center, sees the roles people “should” play and what they value being used to sell products. Stereotypes, sexualization and tropes are among the ploys advertisers use. “We’ve moved into this retro sexism and just remember it as funny. It’s ironic so it’s okay,” Casper said. “It’s not OK. It
is not OK to consistently be, ‘you’re a body, you’re a body, you’re a body until you are old and then you are disposable.’ That is not OK for men and women alike.” If individuals are in a mode where they are obsessive about their body image, then they should seek assistance. But if it is just to a point when looking through a magazine and feel bad or disgusted by representations, Casper said the only thing to do is stop consuming those programs. “Boycott the programming that when you open it up you are just like ‘are you kidding me?’” Casper said. “If you move away from it and toward healthier representations, at least for yourself, that is really all you can do.”

Idaho has no cyberanonymity laws @AlxStickel
While the hype about cyberbullying and harassment has died down at Boise State, the conversation about cyberetiquette continues. Students said they approve of the new monitoring that is taking place on Bronco Confessions 2.0. “I’m glad they’re able to monitor it more closely because with a page like that, things like cyberbullying can get out of hand if not monitored and for a while it did seem like it could be getting pretty worse,” said Nick Nelson, a freshman theater major. Anonymity on the Internet has good points and bad points. Many states have enacted stricter laws regarding Internet activity. Idaho is not one of those states. “I think ideally it might be useful, but I think it’s so hard to control,” said Tierney Ball, freshman biology major. “You’re not necessarily going to be able to
track down everyone that doesn’t follow those laws.” Ball and Nelson agree they don’t think anonymous cyberbullying and harassment are problems in Idaho, but are in other places. Both also said people should be on the watch for it. Director of Information Security Services Doug Ooley and Assoicate Dean of Students Blaine Eckles agree that students should be more responsible with cyberanonymity, which means posting respectful, intellectual comments and owning up when they post something inappropriate (even if that means getting busted for cyberharassment). “Technology facilitates an impersonal barrier,” Ooley said. “It’s all about speed today, which enters into the problem of people not really thinking about what they are actually saying.” As far as free speech is concerned at Boise State, the Student Code of Conduct supports students’ right to free speech (which
is why Bronco Confessions 2.0 is still in the picture). “No rule will restrict any student expression solely on the basis of disapproval or fear of his/her ideas or motives. Students and student organizations will be free to examine and discuss all questions of interest to them, and to express opinions publicly and privately,” states the Student Code of Conduct, Article I, Section II.

You’re so bipolar
This “Breaking Expectations” is staff writer Shelby Bodine’s firsthand experience living with mental illness. When I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder II, everything and nothing made sense. I remember feeling relieved that there was a reason for my thoughts and quirks. I also felt relief that my over-the-top reactions now had a medical name instead of adjectives. Yet, I still worried about what this meant for my future, my friends and relationships. Society has its mind made up about mental illness and the grossly underestimated “understanding” of it was the ultimate kick in the gut for someone diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I wasn’t a stranger to bipolar disorder by any DIV: 9 SIZE: 65FC means.

Tunnel of Oppression leaves students with questions This photo is from the 2011 tunnel. The scene depicts the unequal rights of the LGBTQIA community.
Devin Ferrell Photo Editor
The room is dark. There are 30 of us crowded into a narrow hallway. Wall partitions are fashioned in front of us to look like an elevator. A light comes on overhead. “Second floor,” is suddenly heard over the speaker system. Suddenly, I hear a voice behind me. “Excuse me, please excuse me,” the voice says as an outstretched arm brushes my shoulder. I step to the side. Voices around me start to chime out. “The second floor, really?” one says. “Gah, take the stairs,” another barks out.
“Thanks for wasting my time,” says another unseen person near me. “I’m sorry,” a lone woman says. The partitions slide open and the harassed woman walks through the mock elevator doors with her head down. These interactions were part of my experience in The Tunnel of Oppression which was organized by Multicultural Student Services (MSS). The tunnel is designed for students to experience discrimination they may not otherwise be aware of. In the course of one session, we were shouted at and forced to move from one room to another under barking orders.
Through all this we were shown condensed versions of complicated issues and through all of it the tone was dreary, dark and full of hate. I didn’t leave the tunnel with a sense of how I could prevent sexual assault, of how I could stop two bullies from picking on a transgender person, or how I could bridge the socioeconomic gap which plagues our society. It’s fine to tell me everything that is wrong with the world, but I want to know how I can help remedy these problems. I realize that is a tall order for an entire society, much less a single person. I think it would be more fitting to show people how
to act in these situations; condition people to intervene when someone is being verbally or physically harassed, and to challenge people to be that person that intervenes on behalf of the derided. I think the goal of the tunnel should be to get people to not be complicit in these terrible scenarios by not acting. Complicity is as much responsibility as actually calling someone a whore. I don’t mean to disparage the fine students of the MSS. I believe very strongly in the work they do. Fostering an environment of cooperation and tolerance is, for me, the most important value we as a society should uphold.
I know of instances where I have been complicit via inaction in someone’s discrimination and I didn’t do anything because I didn’t know what to do. Conditioning tempers the mind to act when it sees something wrong. Pilots, soldiers, firefighters and doctors do it on a daily basis. They are trained so that they can be ready to act when they need to, rather than wonder what they should do. We, too, should train ourselves to act when we need to instead of watching. I’ll admit, I was bemused watching the over-the-top scenes. However, a I look back, if someone in my
group who was not part of the cast stepped forward with the single-minded purpose to stop what they saw as wrong, even though it was clearly staged, I would have definitely been moved. We all know we would want to step in to stop something that is wrong, but would we actually do it when the time came? My challenge to the MSS is to train us to do what is right instead of just recognizing what is wrong. Don’t throw us into an ocean of despair and hatred and not give us a life preserver of hope to cling to.

“They are always going to want to show the exceptional people. There is no story or interest in the average person. It can be a bit damaging and you see people looking like that and they think ‘Well what’s wrong with me?’”

“I think it has a negative effect. Because we look to the media for inspiration about how we should dress, act and think so I think when we see that constantly, we are constantly comparing ourselves to that. Our ideas about beauty and image go along with that.”

“I feel like people in the media get that close personal attention that helps them look good. If we all had the same treatment, we could probably look as good. I do feel like people in media are generally fit and don’t look like that on a regular basis.”

might debate the issue of abstinence is the ever present danger of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The issue of STDs and unwanted pregnancy is usually a mediating factor for students to think twice before taking it to the bedroom. Although there are many advancements in the field of disease and pregnancy prevention, abstinence will always be the most reliable measure. So therein lies the balance between having or not having sex. Both arguments are strong and resonate with different individuals, whether a person is looking for that late night cuddle buddy or that special someone to wake up next to every day. This is dependent on the life choices the student may be faced with during their time in college. “Nowadays, I think that

The Boise Jazz Society will play host to composer Christian Howes and his quintet for a concert and free symposium in the Esther Simplot Academy Lobby n Sunday, Nov. 17. The symposium will be open to all Boise community members. The free symposium will kick off at 4 p.m. The concert itself will commence at 7 p.m. The jazz action won’t stop on Nov. 17, however.
The following day, starting at 2:30 p.m. at the Morrison Center Recital Hall, Howes and his quintet will treat audiences to an “inform-ance” a live jazz performance followed by Q&A. Jazz for String Players, an event which encourages attendees to bring their own instruments, will follow at 4 p.m. Finally, Jazz Ensemble Performance Practice will feature an ensemble performance as well as a master class session. The event will also feature tracks from Howes’s
latest album “Southern Exposure.” Howes, a teacher, musician and composer, set out to do something special with “Southern Exposure.” “It’s deeper than that,” Howes said. The themes in “Southern Exposure” are highly influenced by different sounds and styles from around the globe. They range from Spain to Portugal, the Mediterranean to France, Italy to North Africa and more. “Many years in New York City inspired me to want to develop a more
forward-looking voice,” Howes said. “Now I try to play in a way that’s pushing forward and still draws on the various traditions I’ve studied.” Howes, a 23-year veteran of the jazz genre, has earned his share of accolades over the course of his career. In 2009, Down Beat magazine, a publication specializing in jazz and blues, ranked Howes #2 in their “Rising Stars/Violin” category.

Strong QBs stump Broncos Nate Lowery Staff Writer
All three of Boise State’s losses this season have shared a common theme — the defense being unable to slow down a stellar offense led by superb quarterback play. Against Washington in the dreadful season opener, the Broncos gave up 592 total yards of offense—324 of which came by the arm of Husky quarterback Keith Price. Quarterbacks Derek Carr and Taysom Hill, of Fresno State and BYU respectively, torched Boise State in losses
on the road. The Broncos (6-3, 4-1) will again be tested by Wyoming (4-5, 2-3) this Saturday at Bronco Stadium. The resurgent Cowboys are ranked in the top 30 nationally in both passing and rushing offense, thanks in most part due to dual threat quarterback Brett Smith. Smith, a junior, has passed for 20 touchdowns thus far in the season. He has gained 443 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. “(Smith) is a really good athletes. He’s one of those guys that can do it all,” junior linebacker Corey Bell said. “He
can step back and put the ball where he needs to. Obviously his ability to run and make plays with his feet is something that can make him a really dangerous quarterback.” After seeing firsthand how dangerous a dual threat quarterback can be, head coach Chris Petersen knows his defense needed the extra week off to prepare. “Those mobile guys can make it hard for you on defense,” said Petersen. The speed of Wyoming’s offense can also provide a troublesome experience for Boise State’s defense which has dealt with injuries all season long.
The Cowboys average 77.2 plays per game this season— not far off from the 83.6 that Washington averages. “I know this: they’re explosive on offense,” Petersen said. “If you look at the stats they have one of the top offenses in the country.” Smith is not the only threat the Broncos will have on their mind. Running back Shaun Wick is averaging 6.5 yards a carry. “(Wick) is a physical guy,” Bell said. “It’s definitely a challenge (dealing with two running threats). Especially when they have the ability to throw the ball.”
Courtesty Mct Campus
Boise State used the bye week to rest, and heal, before facing Wyoming
QB Derek Carr threw for 460 yards on Sept. 20. Wick and Smith have already combined for over 200 yards on the ground twice this season. That depth in the run game is what spelled doom for the
Broncos against Washington and BYU. Wyoming could possibly do the same. “They have a lot of explosive guys,” Petersen said. “It starts with the run game.”

Women’s Golf
Freshman drives home goals Nate Lowery Ask anyone associated with the women’s golf program if they were surprised at freshman Genevieve Ling starting her career at Boise State with a second place finish at the Bronco Fall Invitational and they will all give the same answer: no. Ling, a talented freshman who dazzled the international circuit, came in with high expectations from others, and even higher goals for herself. “Her goals are higher than any expectations that I could put on her,” Ling’s coach Nicole Bird said. Ling plans on becoming both an All-American and an Academic All-American as well as breaking several Broncos records—like lowest score. “Coach (Bird) told me that I came here with a pretty high spot on the team, but it was still nice to finish second,” Ling said. “It’s a big relief to meet my expectations right at the start.” What’s even more amazing about Ling’s second place finish is that it’s just the start for her—she hasn’t even begun to tap into her

Genevieve Ling (above) has become a surpising contributor to the women’s golf team. potential yet. After shooting several under-par rounds while competing on the international circuit, Bird knows that there is still so much left for Ling to accomplish. “That wasn’t even her full potential. That was an awesome start and what I
expected, but I know that it’s going to be even better,” Bird said. “Once we get her breaking through the sixties in a college tournament then she’ll continue doing it.” After coming to the United States in 2011 for an international tournament in
San Diego, Ling began to contact collegiate coaches in an attempt to garner interest. Luckily for Bird, Ling only contacted coaches in the Mountain West—the only conference that she knew about. “It’s kind of a shot in the
dark (to recruit international athletes),” Bird said. “Fortunately she did come to America so I got to see her play. Her emailing me first was just on a whim.” After seeing that Ling could hold her own against international competition, and seeing she had the
body composition that she looked for in golfers, Bird knew she had to pull the trigger and get Ling on her team. Her work paid off— Bird’s interest in Ling was a major reason why she chose to attend Boise State over other schools in the Mountain West. “Coach Bird was really interested in me from the start,” Ling said. “She was really pushing for me and was the first coach to offer me a scholarship.” Ling’s transition from Malaysia to Boise has not been too difficult—thanks to her teammates and learning English at Sunway International school in Malaysia. “It’s different culturally but I did international system in Malaysia so the school and stuff—It really prepared me for coming to America,” Ling said. “(My teammates) have been telling me a lot of new stuff about the culture and showing me around Boise.” Ling majors in communication and hopes the university will be a stepping stone to a career related in golf. After the way she’s started her career, it’s expected to see her to the sport for a long time.
Hockey
Club sticks with youthful game plan Hali Goodrich Staff Writer
Devin Ferrell/THE ARBITER
Boise State Hockey Club, in the middle of their 2013 season, is looking to the future. With 17 games left in the season, the potential is still there for a standing in regionals and possibly even the championships. “It is their club. It’s up to them. What they put into it is what they get out,” Claude Cardinal, Hockey Club president said. The club plays until the end of the season in February. If they are lucky, they will play all the way until the middle of March when Mountain West Hockey League Championships are held. “Our team is pretty young. It looks promising for the next years to come. It’s going to be really awesome to see how the team grows and to see what happens,” senior forward Kevin Costello said. “I could see the team going to nationals, if not this year then definitely next year.” The first commitment to the team is showing up to
tryouts at the start of school. Many of the players are freshmen from the Treasure Valley area or transfer students. Many of the incoming players find out about Hockey Club via word-ofmouth since recruiting is not permitted. The 7 a.m. season practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays are just one challenging aspect of Hockey Club. During the season the team travels more weekends than they are home. This puts a strain on many things, including wallets, sleep and homework. “As far as travel goes, it eats up a lot of time. Even in our down time, you’re gassed. You’re exhausted. Being able to sit down and do homework is a pretty challenging feat in itself,” senior captain Eric Haskins said. With 26 active players and only four seniors this season, the club is looking strong. Coach Cal Ingraham focuses on the skill set of the players and their aggressiveness during practices. “The focus is always on improvement in all areas, even if it is just simple stuff.
Boise State hockey club is full of young talent.
the arbiter
We just want to be aggressive on the puck and make good plays,” Ingraham said. Weber State is the team to beat for the Boise State Hockey Club this season. The club sees them again on Nov. 23 and Ingraham stresses the importance of beating a team like that. “It’s really one of the better teams in the league that has kind of given it to us most games,” Ingraham said. “We get them here again in a couple weeks and I think beating a team like that would mean a lot.” Although the club is out for victory like all of their opponents, the players don’t forget the importance of forming a team on and off the ice. Haskins mentions the importance of comradeship between the players. “We are really in a battle and we only have each other, especially on road trips. Those are good for our team. They always seem to bring us together,” Haskins said. With the friendships there is also respect. The new players that come in are not seeing the ice for the first time. “There is a ton of experience on the team, even new guys bring in talent. I have been playing since I was five years old, I bet other guys have the same story,” Haskins said. For the freshmen that will carry on the traditions of the Boise State Hockey Club, there are four or five years ahead of competitive play to look forward to. The graduating seniors, however, have to make a choice to stick with hockey or to give it up.
“I’ll keep playing; I’ll probably just go to an adult recreation league. The body takes a little bit longer to recuperate after
the games than it used to,” Costello said. “I will probably coach at one point in the future, to stay in the game.”

Broncos host the Cowboys following a bye week
Wyoming Preview @EngelESPN
Coming off the second bye week of the season, Boise State hosts Wyoming in its second-tolast home game, and Mountain West matchup of the season. The Broncos look to increase their all-time record against the Cowboys to 7-0, Saturday. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2, with kickoff slated for 8:15 p.m. MT. Boise State (6-3, 4-1 MW) is in the midst of its worst season since head coach Chris Petersen took control, but the Broncos are still very much in the hunt for a Mountain West Mountain division title. Utah State currently sits in first place in the Mountain division and Boise State must win the remainder of its games in order to secure a spot in the first-ever Mountain West championship game. One loss would mean the end of Boise State’s Mountain West title hopes, but the numbers imply that the Broncos don’t have much to worry about. Coming off of a bye week, the Broncos are historically unbeatable. Under Petersen, Boise State is 17-0 with 10-or-more days between games. The Broncos had plenty of time to prepare for Wyoming’s elusive and frustrating, quarterback, Brett Smith. Three consecutive conference losses knocked the Cowboys out of conference title contention, however Petersen believes Smith is still one of the most dynamic players in the country. “Anybody can beat anybody, and I know that from watching (Wyoming),” Petersen said. “Their offense, and the quarterback (Smith), is as troublesome
as anybody that’s out there. He’s that dual-threat guy.” Smith, junior, is a three-year starter for the Cowboys, and has finished with at least 20 passing touchdowns in each season since joining the team in 2011. He already has 20 passing touchdowns to this point of the season, along with 443 rushing yards and three touchdowns. On Oct. 27 last season, Smith completed 24 of 35 passes for 216 yards and rushed for nine yards in Wyoming’s loss to Boise State. “He’s played a lot, and we’ve seen him on tape and played against him, and we know what he can do,” Petersen said. “He’s a hard guy to contain and he spreads you out... That’s hard.” There’s no question that Smith will be a top priority for Boise State’s defense, and for good reason. The Broncos have been set back all season long with injuries, meanwhile the defense has struggled to gain composure quickly in games. Before the bye week, Boise State visited Colorado State and allowed the Rams to score on their first two drives of the game. “(Smith) is a really good athlete – he can do it all,” senior linebacker Corey Bell said. “He’s able to drop back and put the ball where he needs to, and he makes really good reads and can put it in just about anywhere. Then, obviously, his ability to run and make plays with his feet is something that makes him a really dangerous quarterback.” Smith will be difficult for the Broncos to contain Saturday, but with Boise State’s historical success following a bye week, the numbers favor the blue.

After being named the Manning Quarterback of the Week after his performance against Colorado State, Hedrick will look to keep improving.

Miller will continue to be a security blanket for the Broncos passing game moving forward.

Lawrence has sacked quarterbacks 8.5 times this season, along with 13 tackles for a loss. His per game averages in both sacks and tackles for a loss rank in the top six in the nation. Lawrence’s ability to pressure the opponent into poor decisions is key to the Broncos defensive success.
What we say What they say Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2
The Broncos are back at home this weekend. They will host the Wyoming Cowboys in a showdown on Mountain Division opponents. As the Broncos are coming off a bye week, recovering from injuries was a point of emphasis. They have found themselves three wins out of the conference championship game. The Broncos have lost key players on offense this season, including redshirt senior starting quarterback Joe Southwick and freshman running back Aaron Baltazaar. On the defensive side of TheArbiter Arbiter The
the ball, multiple players— such as senior defensive end Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe and freshman linebacker Ben Weaver—have all missed time this season, dwindling the Broncos resources at times. A bye week for some extra rest is key for Boise State to get some key starters back in the action. The Broncos are going to have their hands full with another mobile quarterback and hurry up offense this weekend. This trend in college football is sweeping the nation and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Wyoming’s junior quarterback Brett Smith has the ability to stretch the offense and can put points up in a
hurry. If the Broncos want to come out with a win on Saturday night, containing Smith and improving on their open field tackling is going to be important. On offense, the evolution of Grant Hedrick is key to the Broncos success in the next three weeks. The Mountain West Championship game is in the Broncos sights. If Hedrick is able to continue his success in the ground game, as well as the success through the air he found against Colorado State, the Broncos shouldn’t have any troubles with Wyoming this weekend. Score Prediction: Boise State: 45. Wyoming: 14.
Alex Breckenridge Branding Iron Sports Editor
The Cowboys come into Saturday’s game against the Boise State Broncos with a three-game losing streak and the chances of breaking that streak this weekend are pretty slim. The Cowboys’ defense has been shambolic this year, giving up 151 points in the last three games alone. After the 51-44 loss to San Jose State, Dline coach Jamar Cain replaced defensive coordinator Chris Tormey. That did not help, as the Cowboys gave up 48 points to Fresno State. In fairness to Cain, the Bull-
dogs have done that to almost every team it has faced this season. Even bringing in Bill Young as a defensive consultant seems pointless at this stage of the season. Though the defense has struggled, the offense led by high-scoring quarterback Brett Smith has been a bright spot all season. Smith has accounted for 23 touchdowns on the season (20 passing, 3 rushing). He is currently No. 19 in the nation is passing and is fifth in fan voting for the Davey O’Brien Award. Boise State will obviously be looking to stop Smith. Shaun Wick and Tedder Easton will have to help to give the Cowboys a
little more balance on offense. Wick had over 200 yards on the ground against the Spartans three weeks ago and Easton rumbled for a big 79-yard run against the Bulldogs that gave Pokes fans a sliver of hope in the first quarter. The Cowboys can score at any point in the game because of the weapons they possess and the uptempo offense they run. However, I still expect Boise State to handle this game pretty easily. The reason is simple: the Cowboys cannot keep their opposition out of the end zone. Score Prediction: Boise State: 48 Wyoming: 20. arbiteronline.com arbiteronline.com

The junior quarterback is yet another dual-threat gunslinger. The Broncos have faced several spread offenses in the hurry up system with a dual-threat quarterback and Wyoming will be no different. Statistically, Smith has been one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in 2013. Smith has thrown for 2508 yards and 20 touchdowns this season, while rushing for 443 yards and three touchdowns. Smith also holds the current longest streak for an active quarterback for scoring a touchdown in consecutive games, scoring in 21 straight appearances.
Wick adds a solid compliment to Smith in the backfield, rushing for 823 yards and nine touchdowns so far in 2013. Wick rushed for a season high 234 yards three weeks ago against San Jose State. He has a season average of 6.5 yards per carry. Wick lead all Wyoming running backs as a true freshman in 2012 and has picked up right where he left off in 2013. At 5-foot-10, 204 pounds, Wick is a powerful back who possesses speed to get to the outside and turn it up field.
Stanton has been a force to be reckoned with on the defensive side of the ball in 2013. He has racked up impressive totals of tackles this season. In the previous four games, Stanton has tallied up at least 14 total tackles, with a season high of 18 total tackles in a loss to Colorado State in mid-October. Stanton’s ability to corral and bring down opponents in the open field could give problems for the Boise State wide receivers and running backs on Saturday.
